NU golfers shoot for Texas
By Thomas Clouse
Senior Editor
The winter is over.
Noton the calendar, but it is for the
Nebraska men’s golf team, which
travels Saturday to Lufkin, Texas, for
the 36-hole Crown Colony Invita
tional to open its 1992 season.
Nebraska coach Larry Romjuc said
he didn’t want to predict how his
team would perform in the two-day
event.
“I am just interested in how we
shoot our initial lime out," Romjuc
said. “This tournament will let us sec
who is playing well, who can handle
the pressure and we’ll go from there.’’
The Crown Colony Invitational will
include teams from the Southwest
Conference, smaller Texas schools
and a few schools from outside the
Longhorn stale.
The first meet of the season is
always different, Romjuc said.
“It’sslill hard to say if we will play
good because the first lime out is
always a mystery,” he said. “We’ve
got to break out of the winter some
where.”
The winter has bad effects on his
players’ games, he said.
“The layoff hurts the short game
around the green,” Romjue said.
But the unusually warm tempera
tures this winter have given the play
ers a chance to get out, he said.
“At least we ’ vc had a chance to gel
outside some this this year,” he said.
“Anytime we can gel out helps.”
Gymnasts to compete in Tempe
By Jason Bruhn
Staff Reporter
Although his team will face tough
competition this weekend, Nebraska
men’s gymnastics coach Francis Al
len said he wasn’t worried.
The top-ranked Comhuskcrs will
compete against five Top 20 teams
Friday at the Southwest Cup in Tcmpe,
Ariz.
The Huskcrsarc led by All-Ameri
can sophomore Dennis Harrison and
freshmen Richard Grace and Richard
Kicffer.
“If we’re going to do well, it’ll
have to be a whole performance. But
our three most key people will have to
be Grace, Kicffer and Harrison,” Allen
said. “It’s going to be a good match,
but if we perform well we should win
this thing.”
Also competing in the meet will be
No. 3 Oklahoma, No. 7 New Mexico,
California (15th), UCLA (17th), Cali
fomia-Sanla Barbara (19th) and host
Arizona State.
Allen said the tournament woul
help the young Huskers.
“We’re going to use it as training
experience,” Allen said. “It’ll be good
to be in a tournament where every
thing doesn’t go your way. These
guys are out on the floor by them
selves and if they screw up, every
body in the world will see it.”
Allen said the Huskers had no major
injuries that might hurt their perform
ance in the tournament.
“We’re pretty healthy. I would be
suprised if wc didn’t do really well,”
he said.
Allen also said several other teams
attending the meet were not in as
good of shape as Nebraska.
“(Arizona State) doesn’t have a
bad team, but they arc real shallow
and real banged up right now, and wc
are pretty healthy and a lot deeper.
They could have given us a run,” he
said.
Allen said he was optimistic for
the future of his squad.
“We’re the youngest team in the
country that’s really good, and the
next three years in gymnastics is all
NU,as I see it,” Allen said. “We’ll gel
beat now and then, but I think if
anybody beats us it will be an upset.
“As long as wc maintain and hang
in there we’ll be pretty good.”
NU track team to run at Kansas
By John Gardner
Staff Reporter
The Big Eight Track and Field
Championsh ips arc draw ing near, but
a few Nebraska athletes will first make
a stop in Manhattan, Kan.
A few select athletes will compete
Saturday in the Kansas State Invita
tional to prepare for the conference
meet, coach Gary Pepin said. The
meet will be a sort of “conglomera
tion” of things, he said.
“We’re using this meet as a three
pronged purpose,” Pepin said. “For
one, there arc some people on the
team who need one more meet to get
ready for the conference meet.
“Second, there’s a competition
going on within the team to see who
will earn those berths. Then, from
this we will determine those who we
think have the best chance to score at
the conference meet.”
Pepin said only 24 men and 24
women arc allowed to compete at the
Big Eight meet. In Saturday’s meet,
he said, there is no concern over scor
ing. It’s strictly a qualifying meet.
The areas Nebraska will be keying
on, Pepin said, arc with shot putter
Kevin Coleman, high jumper Petar
Malcscv and the distance runners.
“Petar wants one more good jump
going into the conference meet,” Pepin
said.
Malcscv has been slowed by a
sprained ankle. Pepin said Malescv’s
ankle is still a little swollen, but it’s
getting belter.
The distance runners will all run in
shorter races to lower their times,
Pepin said.
Freshman triple jumper Robert
Thomas won’t compete this week,
but he has some help right here at
home, Pepin said. Edrick Florcal, a
world-class long and triple jumper
from Canada, has been helping the
Nebraska jumpers this past week.
“Robert is really excited about
having Florcal around,” Pepin said.
“It’s going to help him a lot.”
Wrestling

son is ranked seventh.
Nebraska improved to 11-4
Wednesday night after beating Min
nesota 21-18 in Minneapolis. The
Huskcrs trailed the Golden Gophers
18-3 at one point in the dual, and
needed a pin from heavyweight Ru
lon Gardner to win.
Neumann said that even though he
was happy with the win, the lack of
intensity worried him.
“Our upper weights came through
for us once again,” he said. “Our
intensity wasn’t what it has been in
past matches. That’s something we
need to work on and fix real soon.”
Neumann said strong performances
will be needed by his wrestlers at the
lighter weights for Nebraska to be
successful.
“We need our kids to continue
wrestling like they did at the national
duals and against Oklahoma,” he said.
“They have started to realize that
they aren’t freshmen anymore, and
instead of respecting guys they wrestle,
they arc going out on the mat with the
idea of winning.”

Womens tennis to face Drake
By Jeff Singer
Staff Reporter
Revenge is on ihc minds of Nebraska women’s
tennis team members as they prepare to battle
Drake on Saturday in Dcs Moines, Iowa.
The Comhuskers played the Bulldogs ear
lier this month at the Gopher Doubles Classic
in M inneapolis. Drake got the best of Nebraska
by sweeping all three doubles matches.
But Nebraska’s Rachel Collins, who plays
No. 3 singles and No. 1 doubles with Ann
Flannery, said the Huskers would be ready for
Drake this time.
“When we played them in Minnesota, we
hadn’t played much doubles,” Collins said.
“But this time we’ll be a lot stronger and I think
we’ll surprise them.”
Collins’ teammate Tina Coutretsis agreed,
saying the Gopher tournament wouldn’t be a
factor.
“Now we’ve had more lime to practice,”
said Coutretsis, who plays No. 6 singles as well
as No. 3 doubles with Jane Startin.
The Huskers now' hope to make it 2-0 against
Missouri Valley Conference teams. Nebraska,
won its season opener 8-1 against Creighton
last weekend.
Nebraska coach Scott Jacobson said he
thought this weekend’s match would be a good
indicator of the type of opponents the Huskers
would be playing against the rest of the year.
“Drake is very good, and I think the match
will let us know what the Big Eight will be
like,” Jacobson said.

By Jeff Singer
Staff Reporter
It’s spring tunc-up lime for the Nebraska
men’s icnnis learn.
ThcCornhuskcrs will open ihcirdual season
today at 7 p.m. with the Creighton Blucjays at
Woods Tennis Center.
Nebraska coach Kerry McDermott said
despite Creighton’s lack of talent, the match
should be beneficial to the Huskers.
“They lost their lop three players from last
year, so we shouldn’t have much trouble with
them,” McDermott said. “It will be a good
mental tunc-up and will help us with the rest of
the matches that we’ll play.”
Nebraska beat the Blucjays 9-0 last year in
Lincoln, but Huskcr junior Karl Falkland said
he wanted an even bigger win this season.
“Last year we beat them 9-0, but this year
we should beat them worse,” said Falkland,
who will play No. 2 singles and No. 1 doubles
with the Huskers’ top player, Joseph Rahme.
“It will be a good first match.”
Nebraska’s lineup is full of new laces, as the
Huskers arc starling three freshmen in singles.
Andy Davis, a native of Scottsdale, Ari/..,
will start No. 3 singles, while former Nebraska
high school stale singles champion Mike Gar
cia of Lincoln plays No. 4 and Christopher
Nielsen of Sioux Falls, S.D., competes No. 6.
Rahme, who is returning after redshirting
the 1991 season because of a military service
requirement in his native South Africa, will
anchor Nebraska’s lineup at No. 1 in singles.
The other singles player for the Huskers is
sophomore Todd Bray, who will play No. 5.
As for the doubles play, the lineup includes
the freshman duo of Davis and Garcia at No. 2
and Nielsen and Alliance native Jay Segrist at
No. 3.
